In an alternative reality, Tayla was meant to be at school camp with me today. Pitching her tent and cooking for herself whilst playing in kayaks.

We have already pitched a tent for lockdown for Masons camp so this time it was a tent fort in the lounge.

Cooking over the open fire (gas hob) meant noodles prepared by our master chef.

Kayaking wasn't able to be achieved today but we did manage to get to my favourite place in Dunedin and an afternoon on the waves is just as good considering it had been over a month since we'd seen the ocean.
